| The Ojai Police Department will be hosting a program to educate newly licensed and future drivers. This program will take place on Thursday, September 14th, 2023, from 5:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. at the Ojai Police Station. The “Start Smart” Program is a cooperative effort between the California Highway Patrol, Ojai Police Department, teenage drivers, and their parents/guardians. In an ongoing effort focused on community outreach, this is a proactive, educational program geared toward reducing potential risk on our roadways. Start Smart is designed to help young drivers and their parents/guardians understand the responsibilities associated with driving a motor vehicle. Start Smart will show how a poor choice behind the wheel can change the lives of everyone involved. Our goal is to raise awareness and reduce the number of teen-related injuries and deaths due to traffic collisions. Call the Ojai Police Department at (805) 646-1414 for reservations. Space is limited to 20 students and their parents/guardians. Students must be accompanied by their parent/guardian to attend. There is no charge to attend the program. |
